An endangered shark returned to a canal in South Korea after rescuers had released it back into the sea.
Rescue teams had guided the shark out of the canal and into open waters, but the animal swam back into the waterway shortly after the release.
Authorities are monitoring the situation and have not yet confirmed the species of the shark, though it has been identified as endangered.
South Korea, a country in East Asia, has seen a number of wildlife rescue operations in recent years, highlighting the challenges of protecting marine species in urban waterways.
The incident underscores the need for ongoing monitoring and support for endangered marine animals that may become trapped in human-made channels.
